The Mahrez goal was like watching Robben or Bale play. Cut, cut, shoot, goal. Not sure why you'd keep dropping off when you know he loves to shoot from range and is good at it.
Almost a carbon copy of 2 seasons ago when we went 1 nil up there and they equalised from the kick off,jan allowed him inside daring him to shot,to be done twice like that isnt good for jan,fall for it once,but two times.Quality finish,but not if someone is tight to him.

For as tired as we were and as shite as our finishing was we still should have been able to pull out a result. I guess that's a testament to our overall class. Having Lamela back will help immensely. Getting Wanyama back will help even more. Get Toby back in their and we should start looking like we can challenge for the title. We are in a bad spot but we can still make a run and get top four. #hopelessoptimist

Oh its that all he needed to do? I didn't realise it was that easy, we should all play professional football if it's that easy.

Pull your head in.

If you can't see that Llorente tried to put his foot through it then your eyes don't work. He only needed to get a touch. It was a sitter and he missed it.

If you can't handle the opinions of others pal then take a break for the sake of all of us. It is not as though I personally bagged the player, nor have I criticised any other poster. You talk about so called "cuntishness" in another thread yet you drop this sort of comment when I have done nothing more than offer my opinion? Take a good look in the mirror. You are not the arbiter around here, no matter how you try to position yourself.

Oh fuck off, it's the same old shit from you, you can say what you like because it's your opinion, but when my opinion is that you are being a tosser and I make a non-insulting but possibly sarcastic comment you bleat like a little girl.

Onto Watford I think. I watched the game and thought we just looked as if we need a hot chocolate and bed for a week. Too many people in one starting line up off the boil in one game- the chances of that happening again hopefully is very slim...I hope.

I'm hoping we figure out this little off spell quick as December is a month full of games and top 4 could look a little peculiar come January if we don't pick up enough points to stay in the pack.

Best performance of the night goes to Lamela, looks bright, sharp and full of beans. Welcome back Coco !

Llorente has a problem somewhere, possibly just confidence, he didn't even take a shot, after a heavy touch, when presented with a gilt edged chance towards the end of the Dortmund game either. I didn't see many of his goals for Swansea but presume there were a lot of headers? It's always a bit sad to watch a striker bang out of form, and sadly for us it's happened twice immediately before. Hopefully he'll come good, i'm guessing against Nicosia, otherwise I agree with @skiathospurs lets have a look at Sterling.

My immediate response regarding Llorente is "he just needs a goal."

But I remember saying that about Janssen and Soldado too.. Deja vu? However, unlike those two he is a proven PREMIER LEAGUE goalscorer. So I think he will come good. Well at least that is the hope I am clinging on to :D

My only question would possibly be his drive/motivation. It might just be his personality and how he deals with stuff but he always seems so happy and smiley even when we are losing or he or another player misses an opportunity. Now don't think for a second I'm criticising someone for being happy because I'm not haha. But for example when it's not going Harry's way he gets visibly frustrated, his work rate goes up a gear and he chastises himself for a miss. I just like to see a big man up top take the game by the scruff of the neck, put himself about a bit and to put it bluntly - be a bit of a dick to the opposition. Be nice to see him be a bit more forceful and screaming for the ball when he's in a good position too. This all might just be me being overly critical though and expecting him to be something he's not.

I don't think he will be, but if he does end up being a flop we have to be asking more questions as to why it didn't work out. There were easy excuses for the last two as to why they failed - never played in the prem, our style doesn't suit them, not ready, etc. The same excuses don't ring true for Llorente.

Same old shit from me? What the fuck are you talking about?

Do quote some of this "same old shit" you clown. I rarely express anything other than positive opinions on the club and players....but the moment anybody says anything that you construe as remotely negative your default stance is to be sarcastic and well, downright fucking rude.

Well, fuck you. All I said is that Llorente missed a sitter and he fucking did. If you can't see that then it is fair to say that your eyes are painted on.

He's not out of form...... He has soldadoitis.... It's a rare disease that comes from playing second fiddle to Kane.

Is there a cure though? Vincent Petrus Anna Sebastiaan Janssen has it as well, or maybe they're just not as good as we first thought.
